Take a raking kind of light, and shine it on a beige to brown colored wall, so that the light will be stronger on one side and gradually fade in intensity (that is, less reflected light) across the field of view.

Now place a different shade of brown upholstered chair, in front of this wall.

Take a photo using the Hasselblad X1D, currently considered to have the most accurate color of mainstream cameras.

Now try to print it accurately, even with the best quality paper and a high end inkjet printer.

Even master printmakers will struggle with it.

Why?
